Himmelbjerget

At 149 metres, the Himmelbjerget (optimistically named Sky Mountain) is one of the highest points within Denmark. We cycled to base camp from our campsite only to discover that most of Denmark had arrived there before us. From the carpark/hotel it was little more than a 100 metre stroll to the summit. Today the storm had finally passed and the view from the top was enhanced by sunshine and warmth.

Not satisfied with our mornings exertions, Mellany decided that today would be the day that we would finally inflate the kayak that we had dutifully lugged all the way from London in the back of the van and which had been occupying a not inconsiderable amount of our precious cargo space.. We kayaked from our campsite almost to the foot of Himmelbjerget (the tower can just be seen on top of the hill). The lake was still and beautiful in the sunshine.
